The Pandemic in Uttar Pradesh Lucknow hit hardest
A few visuals of the pandemic refuse to let you breath easily. One such visual is of 70-year old grey-bearded Tilakdhari Singh standing helplessly balancing his cycle in the middle of a deserted road in rural Jaunpur while the body of his deceased wife has fallen off the carrier.
Residents of Amberpur village, Singh’s wife had succumbed to the pandemic in a COVID 19 government hospital. When the villagers refused to allow cremation at the local crematorium the old man tried carrying the body to consign it to the Sai River. Midway he lost balance and the body fell off his cycle carrier.
